Zelensky doesn’t believe that Putin attacked.
The event happened a day after Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to Moscow’s claim that his country tried to kill Vladimir Putin.
“We didn’t attack Putin, but…” fight on our land, and we defend our towns and cities,” Zelensky told reporters at a press conference with Nordic leaders in Helsinki on Wednesday.
“We never go after Putin or Moscow. He also said, “We don’t have enough weapons for this.”
Earlier, Russia said it had shot down two drones that headed for Putin’s home in the Kremlin. It said this was a “terrorist” attempt to kill Putin by Ukrainians.
A statement from the Kremlin said that the devices had turned off.
Moscow said that Putin was fine and that no one hurt.
